Werewolf Base DPS getting horribly nerfed.

on live its easy to hold 800dps just spamming light attacks with the berserker morph. smart heavy attacks can boost this up to 1k sustained.

with precast buffs i can hit 1.5k-1.6k dps against undead and deadra, just fast spamming light attacks and weaving in heavy attacks.

On PTS, it drops below 600dps with just light attacks. and nothing can really let it get up to 1k let alone hold it...

this is severe and nothing added to werewolf can make up for the loss of DPS in the basic attacks... not even the long awaited CC break.

1.5 will not be a buff to werewolves, it will ultimately be a nerf..

the removal of the attack speed in exchange for a boosted bleed that is broken and never works anyways has ruined WW for DPS builds..
I play every class in every situation. I love them all.

    What kind of builds are you playing..... they changed werewolf dmg off Weapon damage in 1.5 PTS and not stamina like it is now on live

    Yeah, it sounds like they need to fix the bleed to actually be effective. Did you try weaving light/heavy attacks with the new instant attack?

    damage per hit on 1.5 is higher, around 500 damage on crits. on live its around 370 on crits.

    but the attack speed is too slow. 3 attacks per second on Live, 1 per second on pts.

    weaving with the new attack is still less dps than the pure LA spam on live. best i have found is opening with a single light for the bleed and then Heavy attack clipping with the new attack.

    still less than live no matter what you do.

    Make sure you put this feedback on the test forum too - I hope ZOS will implement fixes to the PTS this time before sending it to live.

    the WW on PTS are puppies. This is why the damage is lower. :p

    They should leave the attack speed buff to werewolf berserker light attacks and add the bleed to heavy attacks. This would fix the problem and be an actual buff.

    Launching this patch with the bleed totally broken might be the last straw for me. Ive only waited 7 months to play a WW that isnt laughed at...
    Force weapon swap to have priority over EVERYTHING. Close enough.
    Make stamina builds even with magicka builds.
    Disable abilities while holding block.
    Give us a REASON to do dungeons more than once.
    Remove PVP AoE CAP. It is ruining Cyrodiil.
    Fix/Remove Forward Camps. They are ruining Cyrodiil.
    Impenetrability needs to REDUCE CRIT DAMAGE. Not negate entire builds.
    Werewolf is not equal to Vamps/Bats.

    ZOS doesnt seem to have the time to address the issue. If you want to help the cause, DL the PTS and submit bug on your werewolf.
